Authorities continued searching for a man who wielded a gun and knife while robbing a Roaring Fork Valley liquor store Monday.

The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday the incident occurred around 5 p.m., when a man described as wearing a blue bandana around his face entered the El Jebel Liquor Store in El Jebel, pointed a handgun at the clerk and ordered her to empty the cash drawer. As she complied he pulled out a knife and threatened her with it as well, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Anyone with possible information on the case is asked to call the Eagle sheriff’s office at 970-328-8500, or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007 or 1-800-972-TIPS.

According to the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, the two women, each a mother of two children, were at Glass’ residence Friday night and, after putting the children to bed, smoked marijuana. They then began drinking vodka and wine, according to an activity report, and neither was able to tell a responding deputy what happened after finishing the bottle of wine.

According to the report, Montgomery’s 7-year-old daughter called 911 to report her mother was unresponsive in the bathroom. A deputy found Montgomery on a bathroom floor, topless and with vomit down her front, and red stains on the wall behind her. The red turned out to be hair dye, according to the report.

The deputy found Glass in bed, where she had vomited, according to the report. Both women were taken to St. Mary’s Hospital.

According to the Grand Junction Police Department:

■ Medications were stolen from a residence in the 1400 block of North 18th Street Feb. 25.

■ Items valued at less than $50 were stolen from a vehicle parked in the 2800 block of North Avenue on March 1.
